TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I have sixteen years of teaching experience: eight in middle school, eight in high school. I have team taught in a Dual Immersion program for English/Spanish, team taught with special education teachers, taught regular, advanced, and college level courses, as well as creative writing and worked as an RtI Learning intervention coordinator. Currently, I teach at the high school level and am the K-12 English Instructional Team Leader for the my school district.
